Riza petted Black Hayate as she rubbed the back of his head as she waited for Roy to knock her door. As if by routine she had a pot of tea boiling, if not she had bought a bottle of whiskey just in case he didn't care for tea.

Roy could already feel the words wanting to tumble from his lips as he knocked on the familiar door outside Riza's apartment. Realizing that she knew he was coming, he tried the door and found it open. He walked inside and left his coat on the hook behind the door before meeting her gaze.
